Pricing for HubStor Backup-as-a-Service is a simple baseline cost each month with pay-as-you-go, low-cost storage pricing.
Storage costs are after compression savings:

“The HubStor virtual machine backup product is just like the rest of their software: It is fast, simple, reliable, and has an extremely small infrastructure footprint.”

The backup capabilities you need without the noise
Protecting your vSphere and Hyper-V environments doesn’t need to be complex. Really. And it doesn’t need to consume so much of your time and budget.
15-mins to deploy
Be up and running with the agentless HubStor Backup Service in 15 minutes, enabling you to begin reliable protection of your VMs.
Simple admin
Manage backups at any level in your virtualization topology. Monitor backup and restore jobs globally, per data center, per hypervisor, and for each individual VM.
Seamless replicas
Know that your backups replicate seamlessly in HubStor, giving you an instant offsite copy with a segregated geo-replica hundreds of miles away.
Reliable storage
Preserve backups in HubStor with storage economics as low as $0.003 per gigabyte monthly based on actual storage size after compression savings.
Full encryption
Enjoy AES 256-bit encryption both in flight and at rest, ensuring your backups are private.
Ditch the ball and chain that is legacy backup architecture
The old-school approach costs you precious time and money.
Sound familiar?
- Your expensive backup software writes to secondary storage.
- Another backup product writes the backup sets to tape.
- Tape backups are then delivered offsite.
The problem is that this model is a burden to set up, monitor, and manage which is eating up your time and budget.
Experience modern backup simplicity
With HubStor Backup-as-a-Service, you only set up a local cache for your most recent backup set(s), and HubStor does the rest.
How HubStor automates your entire backup architecture:
- HubStor keeps your most recent backup set(s) locally for fast RTO.
- All backup sets reside with HubStor encrypted in the cloud.
- Optionally leverage the low-cost Archive tier in HubStor for long-term retention of your backups at $0.003 per GB monthly.
- Cloud storage delivers three synchronous replicas of your data.
- HubStor also creates a geo-redundant copy that is segregated from the primary cloud copy in the cloud’s archive tier (physically tape).
The safe play against ransomware
Malicious actors are getting smarter — many know how to circumvent legacy backup technologies.
Here’s how HubStor protects you:
- Your local backups are also stored in the cloud, encrypted.
- The cloud copy resides on immutable object storage.
- And HubStor maintains an additional segregated copy in the cloud also.

“HubStor’s new virtual machine backup is the latest way they continue to stay ahead of the game. Love the simplicity of the service’s UI – setup took less than 30 minutes, and it just works. This is one of the simplest ways for us to achieve our offsite backup requirements. I can sleep well knowing there’s an immutable copy of our VMs on Azure storage, and I can access those backups easily within the same pane of glass my other HubStor content lives in.”
